The petition of D. C. Turrontine shows

land bounded on the north by land of Z.
B. Moans, east by land of J. H. Wimber
ly, west by laud of Wm. Means, south
by public road from Elko to Hawkins-

iuoome, owing to the fact thut it is very
poor and broken, tho buildings are al
most entirely useless on aooount cf de

would rent for, and that the rents of
. said land were only $50 nnnually for tha
past 5 or six years; that he can get $800

‘•To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
On the morning of Feb. 20th, the
golden sunlight of happiness was
dimmed for all time in a pleasant,
hospitable country home in Houston
county when the gentle spirit of
Mrs. Nettie Hickson took its flight
to a better land. For thirty-two
years she had been the presiding
genius of that hearthstone and the
center of influences, goodness, use
fulness and helpfulness that radiated
as far and wide as her large circle of
acquaintances extended.
She was born in Upson county
Nov.'12, 1842, removed to Barnes-
ville in early childhood and spent
the first twenty-seven years of her
life in and near this place. On Feb.
22nd, 1869, she was married to Mr.
James A. Hickson, of Houston coun
ton county, and it was from the
home to which he* carried her as a
bride that her body was borne to*its
last resting place in the bbautiful
Evergreen cemetery at Perry juat
one day before the anniversary of
her marriage.
She was a woman of strong char
acter, broad intelligence, gentle man
ners, and the kiadest, tenderest heart.
A life-long Methodist, she lived her
religion in as much as, Christ-like,
“she went about doing good.”
The only test by which a noble
life can be tried is the work accom
plished by it in this: world, and by
that we estimate its worth. The
numbers of peoplo of all ages and.
both sexes who went through the
storm and cold of those bleak Feb
ruary days to look upon the calm,
still face and to tell in broken voices
how she had nursed them in sick
ness, cheered them in affliction, and
helped them in need, could give no
higher testimony of the beauty and
fullness of her life. She was called
the “Mother of the Community,”
and in many households her loss is
felt scaroely less keenly than by her
only child—herself a life-long suf
ferer—who bows in patient submis
sion to this crushing blow.
It has been said that the pen
which dares to trace the life of a
good man or woman should be
shaped from a feather that had fall
en from an angel’s wing. This fal
tering pen but craves the privilege
of a faint tribute to the love and
tenderness which enriched our child
hood and has been our stay and
comfort amid the sorrows and suf
fering of maturer years When the
travelers in the caravans that stretch
in long lines across the great desert
of Africa, worn and exhausted be
neath the burning sun are almost
reandy to stop aud let their bodies
mark the pathway for others to fol
low, there oonies down the line a
joyful ory from some one far ahead
who catches a glimpse of an oasis in
the distance; hope is renewed and
feeble footBtepB press forward to
safety. So when this precious sis
ter, as she neared the “Sweet Fields
of Eden” and saw before the waving
green of the Tree of Life, called
back: “I am so glad! I am so glad!”
her words come to us who are wea
ry with the journey as a blessed in
spiration to press on to that Happy
Land where we Bhall see her again.

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five, the time when woman
hood begins and motherhood ends,
it is estimated that the aggregate
term of woman’s suffering is ten
years. Ten years out of thirty!
One-third of the best part of a
woman’s lifd saorificed! Think
of the enormous loss of time!
But time is not all that is lo^t.
Those years of suffering steal the
bloom from the cheeks, the bright
ness from the eyes, the fairness
from the form. They write their
record in many a crease and wrin
kle. What a boon then to woman
is Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. It promotes perfect regu
larity,dries up debilitating draius,
heals ulceration, cures female
weakness, and establishes the del
icate womanly organs in vigorous
and permanent health. No other
medicine can do for woman what
is done by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription.

One of the most encouraging feat
ures in southern agriculture is the
rapid increase in the production of
hay and forage crops.
Time was when all the money the
southern planters made from the
sales of their cotton—that is, when
the crop was short—had to be ex
pended in hay and other feed for
the live stock; indeed, as late as 1860
nearly all the hay used in the south
was shipped from the northern
states, and the belief generally prev
alent was that southern soil and cli
mate were unBuited to the growth
of hay grasses. Even up to 1880
comparatively few tons of southern
grown hay were produced.
The census figures of that date
show a production of only 1,412,964
tons, grown or> 1,716,805 acres,
which is only .82 of a ton to the
acre. By 1890 this useful crop had
increased three-fold in the southern
states, and the yield had increased
35 per cent. The year 1900 showed
a production of 3,730,053 tonB,
grown on 2,648,046 acres, showing
a yield of 1.48 tons to the acre and
an increase in yield, of 80 per cent.
It is worthy of note that the aver
age.yield for the United States out
stripped the northern states.
There can be no doubt, from the
evidence of these figures, but that
one greatly desired improvement in
southern agriculture has been made;
and there is reason to hope, from
other indications, that our farmers
will soon recognize the desirability
of raising all products necetsary for
home consumption.

The Beer Was on His Daddy.
Editor Shaver tells the story of a
public school teacher who received
one day the following letter from
the father of one of her pupils:
“Deer Miss—Will you in the fu
ture give ray son easier somes to
do at nites? This is what he has
brought home two or three nites
back: If fore gallons of beer will
fill thirty-two pint bottles, how
many pints and half bottles will
nine gallons fill? Well, we tried
and could make nothing of it at all,
and my boy cried and laughed and
sed he didn’t dare go back in the
mprnin’ without doin’ it. So I had
to go and buy a nine gallon keg of
here, which I could ill afford to do,
and then he went and borrowed a
lot of wine and brandy bottles. We
filled them and my boy put the
number down for an answer. I
don’t know whether it is right or
not, as we spilt some while doing it.
P. S.—Please let the next some be
in water, as I am not able to buy
more bere.”—Thomasville Times.
Critics.
None but the initiated know the
intricacies of a grinting office. The
average reader who detects a mis
spelled word or a letter upside down
feels that his mission on earth is not
fully accomplished until he has call
ed the attention of the over-worked
editor to the glaring defect. He
does not notice the thousands of
letters that are in the- right place
nor the multitude of words that are
correctly spelled, but his eagle eye
is glued on the one that is out of
plaoe. So with our deeds. Man
does a thousand good things and no
attention is paid to them; but if he
makes one mistake it is flashed all
over the world. A life time may be
spent in building up a reputation
that may be wrecked in a moment.
The world is a harsh critic, exaoting
to a fault, and if the Father of all
does not temper justice with mercy
we may fail of heaven.—Marietta
Journal.
